Comments Thread For: Crawford Gets Split Decision in Initial Pre-Pac Fight Chatter

[Curt Henning]

not the biggest bud fan and ive def been critical of him...but i do still like him

but

for his sake i hope this fight comes off...because if it doesnt and he ends up with another weak opponent it will do more damage...and he may never recover....if bob teases pac fight and something big and he comes off with something other than pac or porter you might as well close the book on him

Bud has never fought even the caliber of a prime Mosley.

What a fight that would've been!
Prime Mosley vs Pac would've been very different too though. Pac beat the 40 yr old version.

It wasn’t just a 40 year old version, Mosley was also coming off a one-sided beating from Floyd.
Kind of the same way Manny fought Broner who was coming off two losses and a draw.
Rios was also coming off a loss and so was Clottey, Margarito and even Cotto.
Just saying

Not saying I disagree BUT Roach and Manny passed on Crawford years ago. That fight was in talks after the Floyd fight but never came to fruition. Manny fought Broner instead.

Only One thing I will say:

27 years old Pac mops the floor with 27 year old Crawford.

It is so easy to pick on the elderly.

27 year old PAC got beat Morales and a “prime” Manny got vaporized by Marquez.

And would still kill your hero Crawford who was almost taken out by the Legend MiniGamboa.

I just wish bud and arum don't get scared again they've been doing this since 2016 and arum actually admited that he killed the fight and he knows that crawford is very hittable against a good southpaw and pac is not jjust a good southpaw he's an umbelievable southpaw that's why i understand why arum will not let crawford fight pac.

[Sosay]

I got Bud KO'ing pac in 9.

Putting all the politics and BS to one side, all the stuff about age and legacy and promoters and who is ducking who, and who ducked who in the past, and judging it solely on its own merits, this would be a mouth-watering fight. No idea whether it's actually close to happening, but if it does materialise, a very interesting clash.
